Our review of this book Ma cuisine marocaine
Review written by the Air d’Orient team · Updated on 19 September 2026
We read buyers’ feedback on this book Ma cuisine marocaine to pick out what comes up most often, good and not so good.
The strong points
- Clear, simple recipes, successfully made by those who test them, even without experience.
- Step-by-step guides for delicate gestures: briouates, pastry cigars, pastilla, gazelle horns.
- A beautiful, well-illustrated book, with a carefully designed layout.
- From starter to dessert, from harira to gazelle horns, with the traditional breads.
Things to know
- A selection of classics: the book includes well-known recipes, sometimes simplified. If you already cook Moroccan food, the author’s channel will offer more variety.
- A narrower choice of recipes: there are fewer pastries than on the blog. For a wide choice of Moroccan cakes, a dedicated book will be more complete.
Where we lean: for anyone who wants to learn Moroccan family cooking, with simple recipes and well-shown gestures, this is a good foundation. For a more twisted version, between Paris and Marrakech, Ma cuisine marocaine from Marabout below is worth comparing. For more recipes from the East, browse our oriental cookbooks.
